Jiang Xiaohua asked Xiaoba to carry the person into the inn and opened a room.
This old man looks old, but in fact he is not that old, he is not even fifty yet.
Don't blame others for calling her a crazy old lady.
It's easy to go crazy when stimulated, just like just now.
Jiang Xiaohua just mentioned whether her son-in-law had remarried another wife.
The elderly can’t stand it!
There are two possibilities in this sentence.
One is that she cannot mention her son-in-law, and the other is that she cannot mention the fact that her son-in-law remarried his wife.
No matter which one it is?
Back then, it must have stimulated the elderly's nerves.
It just became what it is now.
Sometimes he is crazy, and sometimes he is just like ordinary people.
The boss of the bun shop asked: "Is this crazy old lady okay?"
Jiang Xiaohua smiled: "Care about her?"
"Who cares about a beggar!"
Jiang Xiaohua tilted her head and looked at the boss of the bun shop quietly without saying a word.
The boss of the bun shop coughed lightly: "Why are you looking at me like that!"
Jiang Xiaohua asked: "Do you know this old man?"
The boss of the steamed stuffed bun shop nodded: "You must know her. This crazy old lady has been begging for food in Jiufeng Town for more than ten years. Everyone knows her."
"How much do you know about the old man's family?"
"Why are you asking? I'm telling you, don't bother, the crazy old lady's daughter is definitely dead! There's no point in looking for her! It's been so many years! If she's alive, she can't come back!"
Jiang Xiaohua sighed softly: "You are right, the old man's daughter is indeed dead! She died thirteen years ago! Maybe just one day before returning to her parents' home, that is, before the fifteenth of that month, or maybe
It will be some day after the fifteenth year..."
The owner of the bun shop looked at the calm-looking black-faced boy in front of him and felt his legs were weak.
When the owner of the bun shop spoke again, his voice trembled: "Really...really dead?"
Jiang Xiaohua nodded: "Dead! Do you know what happened at her son-in-law's family?"
"You...you ask the Chen family! In fact, there is no need. Let me tell you, the crazy old lady's daughter has nothing to do with the Chen family..."
"How do you know? You are not from the Chen family!"
"I...of course I know. It's not just me. Who in Jiufeng Town doesn't know that Mr. Chen is a kind man? Let me tell you, the crazy old lady's daughter is beautiful. Otherwise, with her family background,
, there is no way she can marry into the Chen family."
Jiang Xiaohua: "Isn't it a good match?"
The boss of the bun shop shook his head: "Of course not. The man behind this crazy old lady has died a long time ago, leaving behind the crazy old lady and a daughter, Xiaolan. Xiaolan used to sell tofu at a stall next to my bun shop.
She was quite beautiful, and she was attracted by the young master of the Chen family. She married her and gave birth to a boy named Xiaohu. I have a pretty good life, but who would have thought that she would disappear inexplicably!"
Jiang Xiaohua asked: "Didn't you report it to the official?"
"Of course I reported it to the official! I can't find it. As time goes by, no one will care about it. In the end, the crazy old lady is left alone. She wanders around Jiufeng Town every day without doing any business and relies on begging for food.
I live just for her pity sake, otherwise I would have starved to death!"
"The Chen family doesn't care?"
"What do you care? What do you mean?"
"You should provide for yourself until you die! Isn't this obvious? She only has a daughter. If her daughter is gone, the person named Chen is her son-in-law. Shouldn't she care about it?"
"You don't know! There's nothing we can do about it! The Chen family moved away more than ten years ago!"
"Why did you move? Where did you move?"
"There are several officials in Ren Chen's family. I heard that the eldest brother of the crazy old lady's son-in-law is a high official in the capital, so the whole family has moved to the capital!"
Jiang Xiaohua was silent for a while.
The boss of the bun shop thought the young gentleman didn't believe it.
"Don't believe it, everyone in Jiufeng Town knows about this! He is an official from the capital!"
Jiang Xiaohua asked: "Since you are a Beijing official, you must not be short of money!"
"Of course!"
"Then you can afford to have a mother-in-law!"
"Raise... I forgot to tell you, it's not that the Chen family doesn't support her, it's that the Chen family wants to take her to Beijing with them, but this crazy old lady won't leave on her own. I still remember the day the Chen family moved away, Jiufeng Town watched
There were a lot of people in the excitement, and almost everyone knew that the Chen family wanted to take the crazy old lady with them. As a result, the crazy old lady went crazy that day, crying and howling, and refused to get on the carriage.
"
"Do you still remember the old man's expression at that time? Was it fear or..."
"Who remembers this! When a madman gets sick, who cares to see the expression on her face!"
This is true!
"Then the Chen family didn't say they were looking for someone to take care of the elderly?"
"Why not? There was an old housekeeper who was old and unwilling to leave his hometown. The Chen family entrusted the crazy old lady to the old housekeeper. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The old housekeeper died within a few years. Once he died,
It means no one cares about it, which is really pitiful to say the least."
Xiaoba ran out of the inn: "Xiaojiu, the old man is awake!"
Jiang Xiaohua nodded: "I'll go in and see her. Your business will wait."
After saying that, he entered the inn.
"Waiting all morning was in vain, alas!" The owner of the bun shop then turned and left.
When Jiang Xiaohua entered, the crazy old lady was sitting on the bed, with a dazed expression on her face.
"Old man, do you still remember your daughter's birth date?"
The crazy old lady reached out and scratched her head: "Remember! Remember!"
"Tell me! Okay?"
Jiang Xiaohua took out a pen and paper and the bottle of cinnabar from her pocket.
Write Xiaolan's birth date in the middle of the yellow paper and draw the symbols.
Start origami.
Xiaoba watched intently and didn't understand.
The little master's hands are too fast.
Not only is it fast, but it can also see clearly.
I don’t even know what the little master folded out?
Jiang Xiaohua looked up at Xiaoba: "Want to see?"
Xiaoba nodded.
Jiang Xiaohua stretched out her hand: "Close your eyes!"
Xiaoba obediently closed his eyes.
Jiang Xiaohua tapped Xiaoba's forehead: "Okay, open your eyes!"
Xiao Ba saw a beautiful butterfly on Jiang Xiaohua's finger. The butterfly was blue and very beautiful.
"Little master, where did the butterfly come from?"
"It's broken! Stop talking, we have to help the old man find her daughter later!"
Xiaoba opened his mouth in surprise, but he was obedient and didn't speak any more.
Then I saw the little master put the butterfly to his mouth, blew it gently, and the butterfly flew out.
"Old man, have you seen it? It can lead you to your daughter. Let's go!"
Xiaoba helped the crazy old lady up.
The crazy old lady only has eyes for that butterfly.
The innkeeper saw him and asked, "What are you doing?"
I heard that he was going to help the crazy old lady find her daughter.
This is so strange!
This black-faced boy is really capable of finding a person who disappeared more than ten years ago.
The innkeeper was curious and followed him.
Gradually, more and more people followed the crazy old lady.
Everyone wanted to see if this black-faced boy could really find the crazy old lady’s daughter.
